The Denver Zine Library had a 30-day online fundraiser and we’re proud to announce that we made $3,592 – over $1,000 more than our goal of $2,500. We have so much appreciation and gratitude for all of the love and support we received last month. There was a new video posted every day of the campaign and you can still watch them all at http://www.indiegogo.com/Keeping-zines-in-our-hands

If you’d still like to make a donation, the fundraising page is no longer active, but you can either mail a check made out to the Denver Zine Library to PO Box 13826, Denver CO 80201 or send us money via PayPal at denverzinelibrary@gmail.com.

You won’t want to miss this incredible reading by the amazing Ryka Aoki!

“In the hands of Ryka Aoki, words can be everything – a tool, a fire, a gift, a weapon, a meal, a barricade, a refuge. I was tempted to ration this book, so I’d have some when I needed it, but found myself gulping it down and was so nourished by it the whole way along.”

–S. Bear Bergman, The Nearest Exit May be Behind You, and Gender Outlaws: The Next Generation.

Seasonal Velocities invites the reader on a fragile and furious journey along the highways and skyways of discovery, retribution, and resolve. Through her poetry, essays, stories, and performances, award-winning writer Ryka Aoki has consistently challenged, informed, and enthralled queer audiences across the United States.

Albuquerque zinester and performance artist, Marya Errin Jones, is returning to Denver to wow us with her awesomeness.

Along with her, we’ll have several local readers, wowing the audience with some Denver-based brilliance.

See you there!
